Faris was the opener for our comedy showcase event which was a volunteer appreciation with a wide variety of ages. He warmed up the crowd like a pro and his local jokes paired with his Sudanese Canadian perspective were just fantastic. I had multiple attendees tell me he was their favourite of the evening and even ask how to hire him. Thanks Faris! We will keep you in mind for future events for sure.
